This is a great analysis of Where the Wild Things are. This is a take that I had never thought of before because I actually really don’t like this book. I saw some parenting mistakes by his mother (sending him to his room without dinner…then giving him dinner) and a kid who wasn’t going to learn about being rude because his mom didn’t stick to his word. Then this rude kid decided to rule over some other monsters instead of just playing together as equals.

I guess your viewpoint works and is maybe a bit nicer than my take.

You are right. I thought about the character Brooks Hatlen who didn’t make it to the beach..

Saw the flick last night.

Great, but not amazing. But incredibly epic and surprisingly deep for a 100-minute kids movie based off a 40 page picture book.

Incredible cinematography, beautiful scenery, believable monsters, and quite a few laughs…and many sad parts!

I have a feeling a lot of little kids are gonna walk out of there and wonder what happened. Fortunately, my theater was full of people my age.

Yeah Jost, shoot me an email, let me know how your day went yesterday!

Hey Danielle! Thanks for dropping by to class up the ruffians. We could use some glamor. I’m thrilled to hear the movie was good. Not surprised, but more excited than ever to see it.
